How not to let the rains ruin your outfits this week

We’ll know that every new grey cloud in the sky this season will cause you to write off several outfits in your closet. Wearing white can be tricky, jeans are at the risk of staying damp all day and anything slightly longer than your ankles is a big no-no.

If you haven’t invested in anything to shield yourself from the downpour yet, look for interesting outwear that makes a statement. Plan your looks for the week keeping in mind the outerwear or umbrella you will choose on that day. On days you have formal meeting, stick to shift dresses and a trusty umbrella. Skirts are perfect for this weather, style them in any way you please. Black is saviour since it hides any unsightly, unfortunate splashes, but remember: don’t fall in loop of hiding behind the colour’s versatility day after day.

For the weekend, unwind in a mini dress or pants with slits that are just right for dancing. Scroll through our edit of the most practical looks for monsoon that you can try all week.
